“I only answer to two people, myself and God.”

Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay small prices along the way, it’s not important.

Women have to harness their power – it’s absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the first ‘no.’ And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

I wouldn’t give myself any advice, because advice is kinda bullshit. Take a deep breath and don’t take any of it too seriously.

I wear my clothes, my clothes don’t wear me.

I never cared about money. I’m not destined to be a rich woman. I’m destined to be a woman who makes a lot of money and never has any. I’ve made millions and millions and millions of dollars and I just spend it.

I wouldn’t mind living with someone forever. I don’t really want to get married. I don’t see any reason for it. And yet I’m so romantic that every time I think I meet someone I want to live with them forever and ever.

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. Exercise is nothing short of a miracle.

There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.

In my personal life I’m not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man’s world, I’m really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I’m willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.

All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.

I’m going to have wrinkles really soon.

If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in your life.

Don’t buy into the idea that women aren’t strong enough to do anything they want on their own.

You’ve probably noticed already that I’m dressed like a grown-up… I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.

Everyone’s got to have a dream. It’s not reaching your dream that counts. It’s going toward them.

Yes, it’s a man’s world, but that’s all right because they’re making a total mess of it. We’re chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it’s a difficult task, but it’s not.

I was raised in church. I was brought up in that life, and I think that it’s very important for everybody to be in touch with their spirituality and to have a relationship with God.

God will never give you anything you can’t handle, so don’t stress.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It’s about God who wants to give to you.

For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ.

Most people in the West who say they believe in God actually believe in belief in God.

Resentments lodge inside you, causing you to lose touch with your inherent worth, your joy, and – more important – your God-loving heart.

The glory of God is humankind fully alive.

God will always make a way where there is no way.
